Prospect Info: David Reinbacher

[Jaynki]

I wasn't in favor of Michkov due to Caufield as I don't think you can win the playoffs with these 2 on your top line. Reinbacher has struggled a bit this year so of course fans will start to get a bit concerned due to the insane season Michkov is having as he just put up a 3 point game today. Then add in Slaf's horrible production so far and Mesar looking a bit like Drouin and it's logical that fans will start to feel the heat.

Doesn't mean it won't pan out 5 years from now but even the most die hard fan would have admit it would be fun if we had Cooley, Kulich and Michkov in the system right now.

I still take Slaf over Cooley.

Kulich for Mesar is what it is. A late 1st flop so far. They happen often. It sucks when we are not on the right side of these but its not worth stalling on it. Hutson at 62 greatly compensate for it. Kulich emerging and Mesar wont be the turning stone of our rebuild.

Michkov/Reinbacher we will see.

Suzuki, Caufield, Michkov, Kulich, Cooley. Lot of talent but we would be softer than the Leafs. We are going nowhere with a group like that.

 

[EtLeBut2]

I wanted Michkov and hate the drafting philosophy of this team but I'm not worried about Reinbacher, at least not yet. I think a slump this year was to be expected and all reports of people who actually watch him it seems there's at least as much good as bad.

 

[Boss Man Hughes]

Michkov/Reinbacher we will see.

Suzuki, Caufield, Michkov, Kulich, Cooley. Lot of talent but we would be softer than the Leafs. We are going nowhere with a group like that.

If Kulich was going to be anything special he would be on the Sabres. He is farther ahead in development than Mesar but Mesar might end up the more valuable player.

Reinbacher a good player I just didn’t #1 D, he wasn’t my pick still hoping for the best but What would really hurt is if the best player available in 2024 will be a D (RD) and we reach for a FW because of need. I had no issue passing on Michkov but we had to either move up to grab a Clarsson or Fantilli (Florida making the cup final likely made it impossible) or move down to generate value out of passing.

It will be interesting to see how good Zach Benson is...

I like Reinbacher. But it's been hard for us to get elite forwards. So if I was a scout and thought Michkov was elite, I would have taken him...

I don't like losing, but it would be nice to get another top 5 pick. I would want a forward. But we should still go BPA. If the next Makar or Seider is a available when we pick, take him!

And the picture will look better when Dach is back. This is a nice start to the rebuild:

Caufield - Suzuki - Roy
Newhook - Dach - Slaf
RHP - Monahan - Anderson/Dvo
Heineman - Evan's- Ylonen
Pez

Guhle - Barron
Matheson - Reinbacher
Xhekaj - Hutson
Harris - Mailloux
Engstrom - Kovacevic
Struble - Bogdan
Trudeau - Lindstrom
Norlinder

Montembault
Primeau

I would not say so, but either case, Kulich emerging and Mesar flopping should not be the last turning stone of our rebuild.

You look at that and you see what exactly? Sure, there are some very good pieces. Pieces I love and cheer for. But the intent in all of it is cup winning team right?

I see a team that will make the playoffs if we start to spend on UFA's AND land the big fishes. That cup is not coming from what you see, that's a given.

Missing in action:
Forward catalyst (eluded us for decades, nothing's changed) - Unbelievably hard to get apparently.
#1 G - Maybe I'm past my time and can't see the Adin Hill's of the world as real options
A Weber, a Subban or a Markov - Maybe I'm past my time again, but I want my 27min dominant presence on the backhand.

These three aren't here right now. Maybe I'm blind, maybe I can't understand the process. But how we get what I feel is missing is just not possible. The draft and tank was a way I thought to get those... I may be not seeing what I should be seeing...

Yes, that future depth chart is just the start...

I think the future dcore may actually have everything.

How do we get the big fish offensive player? I don't know. I'm pretty sure Hughes is looking, whether in the draft or the trade market like the Dach trade.

That's insane, so 19 year olds that aren't in the NHL already won't be anything special?

 

[Yasuo]

Also not being in the nhl right now dont even mean not nhl ready i think a guy like Nemec could play right now and not look out of place imo.

 

[SlafySZN]

Nathan Beaulieu taking away PP time from Reinbacher, nice.

 

[Pompeius Magnus]

Nathan Beaulieu taking away PP time from Reinbacher, nice.

Makes perfect sense, he's been a noted powerplay contributor his entire career

I think many overlooked that Reinbachers team swapped coaches in the off-season. Maybe Laval would have been better. There was no need to sign a thousand vet D.

Kloten new coach is a buddy of the Houle, I don't think it would have made much of difference if Reinbachers had been sent there. Beaudin goes from Health scratch to PP1 under Houle over Norlinder.

Why isnt he in the NHL then?

Maybe houle whispered don't give him too much so I won't have to next year either. If his expectations are lower I can scratch him for beaudin

 

[Yasuo]

Why isnt he in the NHL then?

Because the devils have a good team and they have no rush to play him in the nhl?

 

[cave troll]

Kloten coach's job is to save the club from relegation and not to develop other club's prospects.
This is a thing Habs management should have known when they loaned Reinbacher back to Kloten.
There is still a chance they'll buy another D-man since their defencemen aren't capabale of scoring goals or getting points. Only Reinbacher managed to score one goal and he is not a goal scoring D-man at all.

well thank god. i was hoping we could avoid goal scorers for once

 

[Whitesnake]

Kid is a very good d-men. I just don't see the exceptional trait he has to made him a top 5 pick. He will be serviceable. So will picks picked later in the 1st and 2nd.

This is just my take without the power of hindsight. Later on, if he flourishes, the people who keeps dissing people that uses hindsight to judge a head scout work, will use the same hindsight to say how wrong we were.

Right now, I see a good prospect picked too early.

 

[Jaynki]

Ok, so you think they play Nemec in the AHL even if he is better than Siegenthaler, Bahl, Colin Miller?

So they would be better with Nemec, he is an NHL talent, but for whatever reason they play their plugs?

Why would he be rushed if he is an NHL talent ? Wouldnt he be wasted instead?

What sucks is the Dach injury. Dach + Slaf or Cooley + 13th OV? I know you would have drafted Nazar with that pick, which one is getting outscored by younger Gavin Brindley.

As for Michkov, will he ever come overseas, we dont know, Im happy we secured the right side for the next decade. I know NL is boring and that you have videos to make, but you will have a better time doing them next year when he joins Laval.

As for Mesar, Drouin isnt the best comparison, I think you can do better.

I agree.
Good dman?
Yes.
Elite trait? Nope.
Picked too high? Yes.

So by your logic Slafkovsky, Armia,Gallagher, Pezzeta, Ylonen, Pearson and Anderson are all better than Roy right now?They played nhl games and Roy did not

 

[Jaynki]

I am eager to see him called up but in training camp, he failed to cement a spot and its not like there wasnt available. Its prone to change tho as Roy is still young and he is trending nicely.

Now, Slafkovsky is better than Roy yes. Also all the components of our top 6 including slumpy Anderson too.

For the rest, roles have to be taken into context. So yes, Pezzetta is a better 8min/games 4th liner than Roy. Not a more productive AHLer tho and not a better offensive player indeed.

NHL talent dont sleep long in the AHL, Roy is about to be on the clock.
